Shot Glass Raid Frames

Shot Glass is a lightweight raid frame, which can be configured to show specific Aura Indicators, in addition to Health, Incoming Healing, Mana, Aggro, Range, and Target.

No Libraries are used, and the code is very simple, which makes it a nice learning tool for people who are learning to program their own raid frames.

Feature Highlights

Incoming Heals: You'll see incoming heals as a subtle, semi-transparent bar, indicating the future health of the unit.

Aura Indicators: Along the top edge of each unit frame, there are three circular indicators. On the bottom edge, there are three triangular indicators. Stacks are displayed below the indicator.

Aggro Indicator: A red border will light up around any unit that acquires aggro.

Range: Units out of your range will shrink in size.

Mana: Only mana is indicated; Rage, Runic Power, Energy, etc are not shown.

Aura Configuration
I've included two configuration files with the current package. (For Druid and Priest) Feel free to use those files as a template for your own customization.

The configuration file is simply an addon with "## Dependencies: ShotGlass" in the TOC file. You can access the 'TrackedAuras' table from your LUA file. Alternatively, you can edit the included file. An example:

Character Profiles
The "Addon" button on your Character Selection Screen will allow you to Enable or Disable the Aura List for each character.

I'm not going to bug you by popping up an ad whenever you hit "Download". If you enjoy this addon and want to send a monetary "Thank You", please visit our Pledgie page by clicking on the button, above.

3.1:
- TOC Bump

3.0:
- Updated for MoP

2.3:
- Tracked auras can now be assigned a custom function for color and stack text. (See ShotGlass_Druid for an example)
- Delegate functions are passed a table, 'aura', containing information about the evaluated aura: aura.color, aura.stacks, aura.expiration, aura.position, aura.name
- Changed font to Blizzard's Arial Narrow. This will make life easier for international clients, and reduces the whole ZIP package to 15kb.
- Command line has returned: /shotglass [show|hide|lock|unlock]

2.1 & 2.2:
- Trying to fix the overlap bug. I've disabled the option for the frames to grow to the right, until it's fixed.

I just finished reading your code for this addon and I must say well done sir!
Top notch attention to detail and I am always impressed by dev's who truly take the time and effort to fully comment their code. (A trait that I have seriously slacked off into nothingness )

ShotGlass is made to be very open, as most objects are exposed. It should be possible to make an external module (like the class-specific definitions) that adds side indicators. why don't you try your hand at that

p.s. Nope, I'm NOT back in WoW. I'm very much enjoying not being hooked any more

I ask because I really like it, but it's missing a ton of features that I feel are pretty mandatory. I actually added a few more indicators and the LFD role functionality to my local copy, but I wanted to find out if the author(s) were still working on it before I wasted time trying to add:

B) Side indicators... I tested this, but it looks too cluttered for my taste.

C) Groups: Raid members SHOULD end up in the same group. That's how it used to work, anyway. It's been a little while since I've raided, though. I'll look into this, too.

I second this.. 2-3 indicators on the left side would be nice.

Also, I tried to make the following for my mage just to track +int buffs.

I get the indicator there when I buff. If i right click the buff off then it goes away only to come right back. Also when in a raid I see the indicator blinking on and off for everyone non-stop. I could also use spell IDs 1459 & 61316 but I went with the text. Not sure if it really matters.

Also would it be possible to group people in the same groups as the raid?
